About
The golf course at McCullough's Emerald Golf Links is an 18-hole, public course that is situated within minutes of Atlantic City. Designer, Stephen Kay decided to pay tribute to famous European golf courses such as St. Andrew's in his design. The European influences are reflected in the open fairways, tricky strong winds, and undulating greens. The golf course also boasts the region's only 100-feet elevation changes.
McCullough's Emerald Golf Links' signature hole is the seventh; it is also the course's most unique. The hole features hazards like large bunkers and wide, rolling fairways. Water hazards also come into play on five holes. The acclaimed golf course is challenging but it does provide a truly unique golfing experience.

No driving range to warm up
Very little data provided on SkyCaddie
5.5 hour round
The tee times were way to close together. Basically wait and hit. Never good for trying to get into a rhythm. The good news is theirs plenty of other golf courses to play.

Fun course with a great layout
Nice track and a great value in a very convenient location. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Will most definitely get back there soon.
great day and fun course
Some great holes and some holes you can really score on at McCulloughs. The course is a blast and the wind keeps it really challenging. Almost aced the 180 yd 13th hole into the wind which was the highlight of the day. Course is in decent shape and the greens are good. Some of the fairways have some rough patches but otherwise things were really good. You will use all the clubs in your bag at this course and it is a nice test of golf.
Great day at McCullough's
My friend and I were visiting the Atlantic City area and chose to play McCullough from the Golf Now listing...we were so pleased with the course, we went back again a few days later. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The course was in great shape, especially considering the heat wave last week...Conditions were very great, with the exception of a few very difficult pin locations...Thank you to McCullough's for a great day...

What a great course, and it should be as each holes represents a famous hole from the Open Championship. Make sure you listen to the starter...he will give sage advice on some blind tee shots. Greens are small and decent speed, fairways are in great shape as are the tee boxes. You will love the elevation changes. Staff was extremely friendly and rangers do their best to keep play moving. Haven't had that much fun playing a course since Old Head in Ireland.
A good first nine plus
Played recently in July 2019 for the first time. We were happy with front nine but back nine was too gimmicky as it is built over an old land fill.
Bar and clubhouse were nice.
Will not be back as there are too many other nicer courses in south Jersey.
Great Surprising Par 4's and Elevations!
At times it was great to look around and remind myself I was in Egg Harbor, NJ., This is a course that you will want to visit annually to get a feel for history and authentic golf. Wind, elevations and clever hazards keep you thinking and charging towards the well kept greeens. You feel welcomed from check-in to the 19th hole.
Take the time to play these links you wont be disappointed!
Great Time at the Shore
Great course in great condition. One of my favorite courses down the shore. Play was a bit backed up through the front nine but seemed like an isolated situation.
Slow and pretty obnoxious customer service
1. Booked my tee time through Golfnow got a call a day or so before where they informed me that they “had” to move my tee time due to high demand (found out I got bumped for members)
2. No range
3. Ranger came out on the one hole my group of 20+ hackers (who the course paired me with) had fallen behind 1/2 a hole. We picked up speed and waited 15 minutes to tee of on the next hole
The cool thing is that all 18 holes are replicas of Irish golf holes like Waterville etc but for Pete’s sake NJ or not be more customer focused.
Excellent condition
Had a 605 tee time this morning. They got us right out. The round was a amazing 3 hrs 30 minutes. The greens was in excellent condition and fast. The fairways again in great condition. I definitely would recommend this course.
Great price great time to play
Teed off at 6:15 two days in a row back on the beach by 11 am perfect time to play and course conditions were best I’ve seen at this course. Fast greens even through the early morning dew.
Already booked a second visit
We loved the course layout, the challenging elevations, the conditions of everything, the friendly service. We’re playing again there tomorrow.
